A Little Too Wild

The narrator wants nothing to do with athletes. She has a type, and it is a nerdy man with a clumsy streak who could not manage a pair of skis if his life depended on it. Superstar sportsmen and world champions are off her list.

Crew Madigan is exactly what she has ruled out. He is a snowboarding legend, rich and famous, and he has not set foot on Madigan Mountain in more than ten years. At his brother's wedding he skips the family seats and takes the chair next to hers. Up close he looks better than he does on ESPN, and the cameras never caught the flecks of gold in his eyes.

After the wedding he invites her to his hotel room, and she breaks her own rules for one night. That is where the trouble starts, because Crew turns out to be impossible to forget. She also has an appetite for thrills that matches his.

This is a contemporary romance told in the first person by the heroine, with a flirtatious, comic voice and an attraction that builds from the first meeting. It centres on a one-night stand that refuses to stay one night, and the narrator expects the fallout to be painful, with a crash and broken bones ahead.
